IN MEMORIAM 

In loving remembrance of our son, Aubrey Marks, who left us two years ago, 
May 7. 

Remembrance is a golden chain, 
Death tries to break but all in vain; 
To have to love and then to part, 
Is the greatest sorrow of one's heart. 

Sunshine passes, shadows fall, 
Love's remembrances out lasts all; 
And though the years be many or few, 
They are filled with remembrance dear Aubrey of you. 

  Mother and father, brothers and sisters.
